NEW TO THIS EDITION
Adopters will find three main changes that are new to this edition:
Updated Chapters
To ensure a smooth transition for adopters from the 15th to this 16th edition, this edition’s 15 chapter table of contents and the outline of all 15 chapters are basically as they were in the 15th edition, so in terms of teaching, the topic flow is about the same as the 15th edition. However, embedded in each chapter’s paragraphs are dozens of new topics, practical examples, and research insights, all accompanied by hundreds of new endnotes from 2015–2018.
We’ve made sure to integrate the new text material into the book’s accom- panying PowerPoint slides, test banks, and other instructional supplements.
HR and the Gig Economy Features
It’s not easy getting a handle on how many people are working in the gig economy, but the number is huge.i By some estimates, over 40% of all workers in America may soon be freelancers, and by another estimate about a third of
all workers now do gig work on the side, such as
■ HR AND THE GIG ECONOMY: DISCRIMINATION IN THE GIG ECONOMY?
teachers driving for Uber.ii
Whatever the exact number, the growth of the so-called gig economy has big implications for those who have to manage gig workers. New HR and the Gig Economy features show how companies manage gig workers’ HR needs, for example how to recruit, screen, train, appraise, and manage the safety of gig workers.
New Cases
Five new end-of-chapter cases (for Chapters 2, 4, 9, 11, and 14) on Tesla, Techtonic, Uber, HubSpot, and a meat- packing firm have been added to the text. They replace older cases in these chapters. All other application cases have also been updated, as necessary, and I wrote a new Experiential Exercise (“Pearson Urgent Care”) for chapter 11.
SOLVING TEACHING AND LEARNING CHALLENGES
Human Resource Management, 16th edition, provides students in human resource management courses and practicing managers with a complete and practical introduction to modern human resource management concepts and techniques in a highly readable form. This book has always emphasized giving all managers the

skills they need to do their jobs. And today, with employers transferring more HR tasks to line managers, it’s more important than ever that all managers—not just HR managers—be skilled in human resource management concepts and techniques. As the following figure sums up, you’ll therefore find an emphasis here on the practical material you need to perform your day-to-day management responsibilities, even if you never spend one day as an HR manager.
The Manager’s Skills
Planning Organizing Staf?ng/HR
Leading Controlling
Interview, Test, Select Employee
Train and Appraise Employee
The following tools especially help address teaching and learning challenges.
The Strategic HR Features
This book’s Strategic HR features give students a bird’s-eye view of how all the topics in each chapter fit together, and a tool instructors can use to illus- trate these interrelationships.
As more employers transfer HR tasks to line managers, those managers need a “line of sight” that shows them how their HR actions impact the company’s goals. This 16th edition therefore con- tinues the book’s emphasis on strategic human resource management and on improving perfor- mance, productivity, and profitability at work. This 16th edition also provides a comprehensive fully integrated treatment of strategic human resource management.
For example, tied to the chapter-opening scenarios, the Strategic Context features in Chapters 2–15 show how actual managers’ HR actions produced the employee behaviors that were required to achieve the company’s strategic aims.
In addition, a Fully Integrated Strategy Case and Strategy Maps help to provide the most comprehensive treatment of strategic human resource manage- ment in a HR survey text:
● Chapter 1 introduces and Chapter 2 presents the concepts and techniques of human resource strategy.
● Chapter 2 onward, every chapter contains a continuing “Hotel Paris” case (identified by an “Eiffel Tower” icon), written to help make strategic human resource management come alive for readers. The continuing case shows how this hotel’s HR director uses that chapter’s human resource manage- ment concepts and techniques to create HR policies and practices that produce the employee skills and behaviors the Hotel Paris needs to improve its service and thereby achieve its strategic goals.
● An overall strategy map for the Hotel Paris on the book’s inside back cover helps readers understand and follow the strategic implications of the hotel’s HR decisions.
Building Employee Engagement
Each chapter’s Building Employee Engagement features help to further integrate the chapter’s topics and to make the book a more coherent whole. Employee engagement refers to being psychologically involved in, connected to, and com- mitted to getting one’s jobs done. You’ll find practical examples and advice on how managers build engaged employee work teams and companies. Employee Engagement Guide for Managers sections in Chapters 1–13 show how managers use human resource activities to improve employee engagement.
DEVELOPING EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS
As noted earlier, every edition of this book has had the same aim: to provide all managers—not just HR managers—with the practical skills and knowledge they need to perform their day-to-day management responsibilities. A few examples of such skills you’ll find here include:
Know Your Employment Law sections within each chapter discuss the practi- cal implications of the employment laws that apply to that chapter’s topics, such as the laws relating to recruitment (Chapter 4), selection (Chapter 5), training (Chapter 7), and safety (Chapter 14) that all managers should know.
Diversity Counts features provide practical insights for managing a diverse workforce, for instance, regarding gender bias in selection decisions, bias in per- formance appraisal, and “hidden” gender bias in some bonus plans (Chapter 11).
